About
On the Classic Club's scenic landscape, golfers will find a wide variety of trees including olive trees, towering pines, and California pepper, but unlike the many other golf courses in Palm Springs, there isn't a single palm tree. The Classic Club opened in 2006 to much acclaim and has since garnered a following amongst locals and visitors. Formerly a host site for the Bob Hope Classic, the challenging layout has an interesting mix of tour-worthy holes including intimidating par 3s balanced by reachable par-5s and short par-4s. Water hazards come into play on 13 holes. The back nine begins with a memorable stretch of holes. The par-4 10th is a tight driving hole with an elevated green and the 11th hole requires a shot over water. The stretch ends with the par-3 12th, which also plays over water to a well protected green.

Golfer Reviews
Pure as always
This course never lets down, from the layout to the staff. Greens were not completely heeled from their maintenance but definitely playable. No complaints here love this must play course in the desert.
Great day of golf at Classic Club
Had a great day of golf at Classic Club. We played from the white tees and were sufficiently challenged. Great practice facilities and clubhouse. Definitely will return to play again on next trip.
One of the nicest courses I have ever played.
This course is one of the top 5 courses I have ever played. I played in the height of summer so it was hot, 116 or a little hotter with no wind. But the course itself was in excellent shape. The fairways were plush and the greens rolled true. The sand could have been raked but i managed to stay out of most of it. There were a couple of brown spots on a couple of the fairways but for this time of year here in the desert they were excellent. The staff were exceptional. Friendly and helpful when ever they could be. If i could rate this course higher than 5 stars i would. Definitely a course to play when you come to the desert.
Home-Classic
It is Always a Joy and a Great day to have the opportunity to Play this course. personally I think this course is the jewel of the Valley. The Staff are very nice and have a great attitude and very accommodating. If the visitors don't like the Hot weather or some breezy moments or days time to time so be it! Me & my Buddy played with a couple guys from Europe and they just loved it which was great!. The Grill at ground level has the best food too!
Staff Not in Sync
Great Course. Nice layout. Very humid and sticky, but that's typical for this time of year. The bag drop was not open and the cart staff seemed a bit out of sync. Was not given clear direction as to where the practice range was. Clubs were loaded on the wrong cart. Had to ask many questions just to find my way around the place. I play frequently at Desert Willow and Indian Wells Golf resort. The Classic Club staff could take some lessons from them relative to customer service. Aside from that, the course itself, was challenging but the greens were horribly slow.
Come ready to play
I haven't play this course in several years but was glad to come back again. The course is in great shape for the summertime in Palm Springs area. Be ready to hit good long shots. The course is challenging but playable with enjoyable landscaping. I look forward to playing it again.
A top 5 course in the Valley
Beautiful layout with a lot of bunkers and water framing holes. Great sight lines with tees for every ability. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. Practice area may be the best in the area. Food was outstanding.
Leave this course for the pros
We played the course in just over four hours. There was nobody ahead of us. The course was pretty to look at but hard to play. The greens were fast and the slope changes made reaching the greens in regulation difficult so our scores were low. The bunkers were deep and the slopes seemed to feed our balls into the water or a sand trap. This was not my favorite course. The Marshall said this was a PGA level course and I say let them have it. We came back this year as this course used to be a good value but not so anymore.
Heavy winds possible.
This a great, tough track. If the wind is blowing, like it was for me, good luck! 4 club winds the day I played it. If you cant hit the ball 300 yards, do not play from the tips.
This course was amazing!
Not only was the course itself in great shape, but the staff was so helpful and friendly. The amenities on the course were absolutely spectacular. The service could not have been better and it really felt like we were members at a very nice country club.
Challenging Course
Course was nice and quite a challenge. Wind will require you to bring your A game. Few negatives were the grounds crew turned on the sprinklers while we were on the 18th tee box. All of us got soaked as did our carts which had our phones in them. Also when we checked in we were told we could buy cases of Pro V's for $30. When we tried to buy the Pro V's when leaving we were told you had to buy them when we checked in.
Awesome Experience
Incredible course, great layout. Previous reviews complained about pace of play. We got it done in 4 hrs. Perfect day of golf no wind and great staff
Wish I had played better!
Great course with all needed amenities.
Great challenge
Course conditions are great as always except the bunkers who need a little love. The layout is great, the challenge is huge with water on 12 holes. We appreciate.
A Classic
Great venue; you will use all 14 clubs ! Greens are laced with subtle breaks! Wind will give you gray hair and a real challenge!!!
Good day,
Course is excellent. Didn't look busy which may have helped the speed of play, as we didn't see any staff checking on our progress.
Water on 14 holes!
Great condition and a strong, challenging layout.
Beautiful course
I played here in a military tournament. Course was in fantastic shape. Fast greens and great fairways. Course is challenging and if the wind is into you make sure you take more club. Greens roll true. Staff and facilities are top notch!
